RUSH: The Regime “is set to announce another major delay in implementing the Affordable Care Act, easing election pressure on Democrats.” That is the opening line in TheHill.com story.<\/a> They\u2019re not even bothering to hide the purpose of this. They\u2019re not doing this for the people. What this is… Remember when Obama promised you that you could keep your plan if you like it and keep your doctor?<\/p>\n

And then, all of a sudden, you couldn\u2019t, and then everybody started reminding Obama that he lied 23 or 24 times about this? And a powerful lie. I mean, this is something that was deeply personal to people that they believed, and it was never true. And we tried to warn people that he was lying about it, because it was not possible. Your plan that you like was going to be rendered illegal if Obamacare was ever implemented. It was just illegal. <\/p>\n

Obama was lying because he wanted to win elections, and he thought you would forget. Anyway, you didn\u2019t forget, you were reminded, and so there was such an outcry that Obama delayed the cancellation of your plans for a year. This calendar year, 2014, you can keep your plan. You\u2019re still illegal. Your plan is still illegal. It\u2019s just that the Regime is not going to pressure you and charge you and fine you or otherwise penalize you. <\/p>\n

What this is, is an additional three-year extension of the plan you always thought you were going to be able to keep. TheHill.com reports the Regime “is set to announce another major delay in implementing the Affordable Care Act, easing election pressure on Democrats,” because they forgot something. They forgot something. They have to push back the end of the “fix.” These are substandard plans.<\/line><\/p>\n

By definition, now, the plan that you like that you now could keep this year… By the way, they brought it back after you lost it? How many of you actually, really got the old plan back? That\u2019s another thing they don\u2019t tell us. Your plan was cancelled. Remember that? You were not allowed to keep it. You had to give it up even though the Regime had promised you.<\/p>\n

And then all of a sudden after a bunch of people had been cancelled Obama said, “You know what, you know what? I\u2019m instructing the insurance companies to reactivate those plans. The insurance companies, it\u2019s gonna cost a lot of money.” They were illegal, and we don\u2019t know how many people actually went back and reactivated the plan that they liked that they were promised they could keep, that they had had cancelled. <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know. But if you did, you get to hold on to it for three more years. But they only figured out, they remembered that the law requires insurers to send out cancellation notices 90 days in advance (three months, for those of you in Rio Linda). That means even with Obama\u2019s last delay, the cancellation notices would come out right before the midterm elections this November. <\/p>\n

Even extending your plan that was cancelled, that you were promised you could keep, that was taken away from you and then reoffered to you, you could keep it this calendar year, however just for the year, and you would again get a cancellation notice near the end of this one-year extension. The Regime figured out over the weekend that the law requires a 90-day cancellation notice.<\/line><\/p>\n

That means that the cancellation notices would arrive in people\u2019s in boxes, mailboxes, however they get them, right before the midterm elections. In some cases, my friends, a majority of these cancellation notices would come on the Friday before the Tuesday of the midterm elections. So they had to engage in drastic emergency action here, to just say, “You know what? Screw it. We\u2019re gonna extend these all the way through the 2016 election,” which is the presidential race. <\/p>\n
